#1 warnings don't merit.
#2 the hardship doesn't get any easier.
today he lost his birthday balloon. After Daddy told him what could happen if he made the decision to take it outside...M was still confident: "I won't let it go."
But he did.
And he cried.
It happened once to Cale last year. I can remember Cale's full and devastating meltdown when he allowed the balloon to slip from his grasp...and it was not pretty. It took quite a bit of calming down to get him to recover.
Megersa is still greiving... ;)
The rebel in you can relate...wanting to hold on...but ever so curious what would happen if you let go. But the tiny joy in the release comes crashing down pretty quickly.
...Curiosity got the better of this little kitty and his balloon now flies with the helicopters.
There's a first for everything and sadly, a lesson to be learned.
The quivering lip and tear stained cheeks did sorta break my heart and we promised to get him another balloon the next time we could. I do actually believe this lesson is one of the only ones that is learned almost immediately. If only all consequences were as easily rememberd...
To end on a funny note, I have to say that at every sight of a balloon in the sky, Tim and I recall this hilarious bit by Brian Regan and it makes us laugh:
the wallet and the balloon
